Literary Link Love: July 2014

This last month started a little slow on the link love. Limited internet access and a hectic schedule after moving is mostly to blame, but the love has picked up in the last couple of weeks. Here's what I've got for you this month . . .

We have been lied to all these years ... and I'm really okay with that! I keep hoping that my children will get their letters from Hogwarts or have the opportunity to visit Camp Halfblood. And, I'm still hoping for the chocolate factory!

My first thought was, "New covers again?!" But then I saw they were the UK version. I don't care for every image chosen for each book, but I do think they're my favorite style of all the covers I've seen so far. I really loved the Scholastic versions when they came out last year, but I like these even more.

Online book clubs don't work all that well for me. BUT read-alongs do. I think it's because when you join a read-along, every who joins is jazzed about the book whereas that is not always the case with an online book club.

My top three books are :Pride and Prejudice by Jane AustenCannery Row by John Steinbeck. (I live near the area so his insights into our ocean in the 40's are remarkable. The Poetry of Robert Frost. I adore his writing, share his Birthday and have been reading his works since I was 6.
